So, this is not a action book. This is a love, suspense, and dystopia book. Cassia loves the Society. While everything long ago (our world), was unfair people had choices. In the Society, everybody is matched with their perfect husband, perfect job, and everybody dies at eighty. Cassia is waiting for her Match Banquet when she is matched with her best friend Xander. But then she finds Kyle her Match, too. She is forced to choose one. She loves them both, but you can only have one Match. This book shows what miseducation can do to a population. Stuck in the Society will never suit Cassia, but passion will. This book is really more philosophical and deep than it seems. What I liked was the mystery and fleeing love Cassia feels for everyone close to her.

Divergent is about a dystopia future. But it is really different than the Hunger Games. Everybody is divided into five different factions based on what they believe in (knowledge, truth, selflessness, bravery, peace). Tris, our heroine, is born to be selfless, but her "test" results say different. In the end she chooses to be brave. She is grueled while being trained. I really felt like I connected with Tris. You feel her. You can connect with her world because she lives in Chicago. But really they know nothing else. What is important is what lurks outside the city fence. But problems always start inside first. The Dauntless (brave) believe in no fears. So, remember Four and test.

I was questioning this book due to the lack of explanation. Most of us in this country do not know medieval Middle East that well. So, stick to it and you will get it. Just try to keep the names right. I really the adventure between Raseed and Zamia. Raseed is an unemotional ninja freak. Zamia is of an one-person band and a lion shape shifter.There are magical soul eating ghuls and djenn. I like the high fantasy with a kingdom with different kingdoms. Realizing now that makes no sense. People will invoke the name of God as in "God is the Mercy that kills Cruelty!" Adoulla I think is way to pushy and well strict. But the guy uses his mouth  for sure.Raseed is a real religous dude with wicked sword. The guy needs emotional help. Zamia is a kick butt heroine that can be a lion. What I don't understand is that how a ghul causes so much trouble? The book and plot are good, but you need to be 100% focused on the book to read it.
